Great for providing a framework for managing the process from Question to Communicating the outcome. The section on uncertainty was good - highlights the gap and the importance of statistical literacy in the corporate world (which seems to be non-existant).

Excellent overview of managing data analysis... an area of improvement for this course is emphasize the importance of communication more and how visualization tools, such as Tableau may make communication to a larger audience more effective.

Very concise and logically structured. Although no prior knowledge is required as the course says but I suggest a basic familiarity with statistics can help you extract maximum knowledge out of this course.

Excellent course! Highly recommend it.

Dr. Peng covers the essentials of Managing Data Analysis in a balanced way, and empowers the data science manager/executive to be able to apply these right away.

Focused and to the point. For each phase, the emphasis was on the important questions for a Data Manager, without being thrown too much into the technical details of the analysis.

Good review of the data analysis process, though it loses momentum when it gets into the communication & presentation areas. On to the next course in the specialization!

This felt a lot more detailed that the previous courses (which was great!) and I feel like I've genuinely learned some stuff (the six type of questions) that I can use!
